Recenzje

"A compact and systematic study, this book provides a dense, solid, and at the same time dynamic account of the cultural, ideological, and political nodes underlying the process of Greek national independence, in a transnational and cross-cultural perspective." (Franca Dellarosa, The BARS Review, Vol. 54, 2020)
